A MAN who rebuilt his life after a horrific motorbike crash has won a Shaw Trust Star Award.

Richard Denyer, 54, received his award from tennis star Pat Cash at a ceremony at London's Caf Royal.

Former BT engineer Richard was in intensive care for a month after he had a stroke and his bike smashed into a wall. He was left paralysed down one side, but has since carried out volunteer work around Aberystwyth.

Mr Denyer was described as a, "living Superman" by the trust, which provides employment for people with disabilities, poor health and social problems.
